6.5 x 47 Lapua Loads

Post by dips123 »

Hi Guys,

Anyone got any favourite loads for 123gr Scenars in 6.5 x 47 ?

Tough to find reloading data with the exception of the Lapua website as not many of their powders are equivalent to our ADI powders here.

Cheers,

Dips

I can't help you with 123 data, just case you're interested, this load has been crazy accurate for me:

136 Scenar
Lapua Brass
40gr N550 Powder
CCI 450 small rifle magnum primers
2.755" COAL
2815fps out of DTA 26" 1:8.5 barrel

Hi Dog, thanks for that. I have managed to workout a sub 0.5moa load with 123gr Scenars. Will give the 140gr a go soon !

God I love my DTA and 6.5 x 47 Lapua is so damn accurate. :D

Shot 0.27moa with 35.6gr of AR2208 (varget) and 123gr Scenars.

Shot 0.3moa with 36.2gr of AR2209 and 123gr Scenars.


Will run with the AR2208 as I have a 4kg container of it which I use for my .308 as well. Such a good caliber as there is next to no recoil.

Can't wait to try it out long range 800m plus.

Anyone had any experience at long range with the 6.5x47 ?
